There is a natural chemical process called OXIDATION, which is simply how a thing reacts and deteriorates when exposed to oxygen. When our skin oxidizes it gets flaky and dry, when water oxidizes it evaporates, when steel oxidizes it rusts, and when motor oil oxidizes it thickens. All of the fluids in your car react with oxygen and deteriorate at different rates and must be changed regularly to keep your car running well.

Your engine compartment is like a giant oven that cooks all the fluids under your hood. Temperatures there are include a minimum 180 degrees for auto transmissions, coolant temps of 220, oil temps of 240, and combustion chamber temps are regularly in excess of 1500 degrees F. When you subject the fluids in your car to excessive heat this process increases the rate of oxidation and degrades the fluids at a rapid rate. Although oils, coolants, fluids, and fuels have all improved vastly over the years they are expected to do more work and the life of your car is tied directly to the life of your fluids--the fluids in your car have their work cut out for them and can use some help.

Exchanging the fluids in your car on a regular basis is a great way to extend your vehicles life and reduce your transportation expense. Data shows that 80% of the cars on the road do not receive proper scheduled maintenance and cost their owners thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs. Unfortunately most of us know we should change our oil at 3000 miles but it winds up being around 5000 when we actually go in for service.

You need Vitamins For Your Car.

When we don’t always eat right a multivitamin can help our bodies compensate for an unbalanced diet. Our cars function the same way.

Our Professional Formula additives can improve the performance and extend the life of your car. Our products will improve the performance of your motor oil, fuel system, cooling system, auto transmission, and power steering systems allowing your car to keep that new car performance longer. We also recommend regular service intervals that are more frequent than the manufacturer recommends because if you follow this schedule you can extend the useful life of your car with just a little more expense to you.

These two strategies will protect your car for years to come, offer an extra margin of insurance, and promote years of trouble free driving for you and your family.

3D Movie - How a car engine works

Cooling System

The engine in your car is air cooled—it uses an antifreeze/water mixture as a medium to transfer heat from the engine to the coolant and then coolant to the atmosphere through the radiator. Because this fluid is asked to do so many things and its function is to transfer heat, it has some peculiar characteristics. First of all, straight water (H2O) transfers heat well—but it boils at 212 degrees and freezes at 32 degrees—hardly acceptable by itself for this task.

Oil System

In order to understand the oil system we must first review the three basic functions of motor oil:
1. To Lubricate. Which literally means “to make slippery”. A barrier of oil should be maintained between opposing metal surfaces to reduce friction, temperature, and parts wear.

Fuel System

Although fuel injection has been used in Europe and in all sorts of race cars for well over 50 years, it became widely produced in American cars in the early 1980’s and was a tremendous advantage over the archaic carburetors of the past. Increased mileage, horsepower, and efficiency of gasoline engines are just a few of the advantages of this type of fuel system.

AutomaticTransmission

The automatic transmission in your car is essentially a gigantic hydraulic pump. It uses transmission fluid to transfer engine torque to the drive wheels through a “torque converter” to a series of valves and pumps to control fluid flow and pressure. As with the other fluid systems on your car, much is expected of this fluid and it deteriorates rapidly with heat, contaminants, and oxidation--it will tend to thicken over time and not flow as needed and reduce the efficiency of this unit, as well as shorten its useful life.
